Tri County Saints

Annual Meeting

May 7, 2008

Open Meeting at 7:11pm

Greg thanks all the Board this year for all hard work and dedication.

Lovell is on Board for 16 weeks of Sundays. Start in September end in March. Taking a break during high school season. Lovell does have a Goalie coach and we will discuss what it takes to get him to our clinic for 1 hour perhaps. Do Mites and then all goalies in first hour or rotate the hour between level.

Midget Tuition needs to be set in August. The new Board should look at the fact that the 4 hours of practice ice are now split among 4 teams and look at the NVL cost, practice shirts and socks and mouth guards. Midgets should not pay cost of Lovell, but a portion of overhead of organization.

NVL will have count of teams by May 7th. It looks like there will be more teams in the league this year, more variety.

Question about Sunday ice was brought up.

Dave Blakeley discussed the tryout procedure and how evaluations are done. We believe in the evaluation process itself is fair and has a history of being correct. In one year we have weighted a past coach’s eval. by 25%, but it didn’t work back then and was removed from process.

The issue was brought up to go to 2 equal B teams for next year and have 1 C team for Peewee teams. Or 2 equal A and 2 equal B. Perhaps we take a re-look at the peewee level in August. Uncertainties of NVL league placement. Motion made by Marc: If NVL has 3 divisions for 1 A, 2 equal B and 1 C team. Seconded by Melissa, Vote: 10 for, 0, Unanimous passed.

Guidance to parents of all Peewees; A team is not affected and does need to be addressed. B kids are still on a B team. The kids will be skated in August and divide teams and scrimmaged to ensure equal teams. Greg will draft a letter to send to peewee players regarding the situation and the results of Board Meeting.

We know the Board can be better about the evaluation process and we look forward to making documentation and history for the Board.

15 skaters per team is optimum.

Suggestion for the next meeting: Only A level teams can apply for State playdowns, except at Midget Level.

Same exact ice as last year per meeting in at FMC. List of hours goes to PO box in summer. We should be switching with Coyle Cassidy for 6 and 7

Monthly list of things to do circulate among board. Everone should add

Refunds: Stampfli for $275, Bruno goalie said he’s not playing with us, Leo will contact with 50% discount Mot. Leo, 2nd Greg. Unanimous. Doherty seeking refund for $400 for next year. Due to donations from Verizon each year. Mot for regular refund of $275 Made by Melissa, 2nd Greg Vote for 6, opp.0 abstain 3. Hoffman refund for $275

Late Bantam registration Nate Barrett, Cam Gallagher, and Jim Blythe will be coming in mail

Medical kits for coaches. 5-6 kits are with Jaime now, probably should have been handed out to coaches. Next year equipment manager shall distribute first aid kits to all coaches. Mass hockey does not mandate neck guards.

Lisa Stampfli – Ryan just started playing last year. Practice player on Bantam Bs this year. Would like us to pursue a roster waiver for him

Dave Motion for $400 due at tryouts for Midget level with balance to be paid before they step on ice is August. Sec. Rich. Unanimous

Andrade request for $200 refund based on lost ice at rink for her Peewee B team. There is no motion on the floor, therefore the request fails. Response is that the Ice situation at the rink was an Act of God, and completely out of our control. We regret to inform you that we will not be able to entertain your refund request. Motion to deny Dave, Sharon, Unanimous

Walters request – tough situation from a personal standpoint. But unfortunately, we are unable to entertain your request for a refund. We understand that the situation is tough that your son is unable to make practice as often as you would like him to, but we cannot discount the tuition because it is not considered a hardship case. Motion to deny Dave, Jim Unanimous. You are welcome to submit request for Level 2 and 3 reimbursement.

Heath Request – Raymond and Chad – Request for tuition reduction, based on divorce & monetary situation. Hardship case. We should contact her and decide on payment plan. Make them offer for kids to help at Learn to Skate to work off tuition. Motion to let kids on ice for tryouts without this year’s balance paid or tryout fee due Sharon, Dave, Unanimous.

Guest – Ollie Vieten Director of Public Relations (Bay State Hockey & FMC) and NE Future Stars for players looking for a challenge over the summer. In addition to the regular summer offerings of Bay State. Started in Nov. 14 year prof. hockey in Europe. Rick Nado for questions with Development. Skate with the Bruins will continue next year for 8 times this year. Offered table for Bay State Hockey for tryouts at all levels. If we can send out info we could work out discount.

Ice parity is looking very even we will be at 50-51 practices by March 16.

Full sheets - parity for full sheets. Allocation to teams may not be even due to circumstances due to games on Saturdays and Junior High.

Cuts at Travel level possibility for Mite and Squirt. Push them to House. Travel Roster limit is 17 per travel team.

House - 1 team in Martha’s Vineyard Tournament and SWS to play kids who stay behind. Round Robin at end of year.

$32,800 still owed. Players will not be allowed to play next game until paid in full. Melissa will print letters and hand to coaches.

Frank Robles submitted Stop payment on $800 check. Effective immediately off ice (child and Coach) until a new check is handed to Henry.

Commitment Level of Board has been lackluster this year. We need people to commit the time and effort. What can be done?

Learn to Skate with Steve Folan. Enhance with 3 on 3 for next year. He could come with syllabus for next meeting. Need rep from Saints. Ask Steve to fill role for first few minutes with extra payment perhaps.

Tryout format: 2 nights. March 31 – April 11. Dave will work out schedule and send out.

Skills format next year - Mike Getchel for once a month checking clinic for 3 months. Lovell for 3 weeks for Sept. Oct & Nov. By Thanksgiving Skills are done and Sundays are used for Practices during High School Season.

Offer Getchel for March 16 or 30 for checking clinic for Squirts for 5:30 and 6:30 hours. Leo or Dave will ask if he is available.

Bertangna Goalie Coach – we will get contact info from Ollie for next year for once a month clinic for next year.

Merchandise – Ormseth no one can find the order. We will pass all orders to Pro Shop at Foxboro tonight. We will cash all checks and pay for order in Foxboro, when items come in, in about 2 weeks. Clark has not come in from old store yet.

Carnival – Team baskets Send email to teams again reminding them to call Sharon with basket theme. Carnival is the not the best place for summer/spring sign up for Bay State. Bay state will come to Feb or March meeting to speak to Board.

Tuition – Loomer does she get 25% discount on the lesser of 2 tuitions (midget vs. Mite) Midget paid $565. Tuition discount from $595 will be taken off the final bill.

NVL update – not a lot of changes in realignment. No changes for Mite. Squirt – BarnB down, KPC move up, Brockton C team starting. Peewee - Norwood up to B Franklin down to C. Bantam – Barn B1 up.

Once NVL schedule is out on 17th, we will have practice schedule out for next 4 weeks.

Lost ice has been counted by Leo, and will be charted to check against bill that is sent by FMC. We had 8 hours as of December meeting. We have lost another 8 from this last time in January.

Dimartinis – Tuition reduction based on injury to back during jr high game. It would mean they would pay 1200 for 1 kid and waive last 2 payments for Mark, in effect letting Mark pay $100 for season. Motion Made by Marc, 2nd Henry. Unanimous.

Guests: Frank Robles handed out a sheet of suggestions and or comments to Board. Briefly gone over by Board. Frank talked regarding his letter of suggestions. See attached letter.

Agenda posted before the meeting suggestion.
